AI Analysis

Impact

The Online-Examination-System’s admin/admin.php file contains a function named isAdmin that performs no authentication checks, allowing an attacker to manipulate the call and bypass the required credential verification. This flaw permits any remote actor to invoke the function and gain administrative privileges, potentially exposing sensitive exam data and system configuration.

Affected Systems

Involved vendor: itsmeravitejak. Product: Online‑Examination‑System. No specific affected version can be identified because the repository uses continuous delivery; the vulnerability is present in the code at commit e6208e630b14657999bbfe4c9912302d2a1e2449 and all earlier releases until a fix is deployed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 reflects a medium severity. EPSS information is unavailable, but the public release of an exploit and the ability to launch the attack remotely indicate a realistic threat. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, so no known large‑scale exploitation has been reported yet. An attacker could use the missing authentication to elevate privileges, compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the exam system, and potentially pivot to other internal targets.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check for and install a patched release from the vendor as soon as it becomes available; if no patch exists, remove or disable the admin/admin.php endpoint entirely.
  • Add a robust authentication layer to the isAdmin function so that only verified users can execute it, addressing the CWE‑287 weakness.
  • Restrict access to the admin interface to trusted IP addresses or network segments using firewall or ACL rules, mitigating unauthorized remote access.
  • Monitor access logs for unexpected activity on admin/admin.php and consider rate limiting to detect and deter abuse.
